About Southbury Primary School

Southbury Primary School in Enfield is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 68 applications for just 28 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. All 28 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage for this school, the high demand speaks for itself. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 2 to 11, and does not have a religious character. It has a nursery provision, making it a practical option for families with younger children. Headteacher Rebecca Panteli leads a school of 381 pupils, well within its capacity of 480, and 35.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a diverse intake.
